TIE O'Brien labor demonstration in New

at the meeting, and did not approve OF
the resolutions prepared by the COM
mittee. The committee refused to
change the resolutions till it YVES

to resign Hence Mr. O'Brien did not at

There we're about ten thousand paraders.

The objection to him was that be presided
at meeting a few days ago at which p. j..

Of tho trouble was that the labor people
insisted that the cause Of Rev. Dr. McGlynn
should be appropriately introduced into
the resolutions to be adopted at the Union

THE Union Labor party, according to the
action of the National Executive Commit
tee at its session in this city, is heartily
opposed to Senator John Sherman, who is
just now very busily engaged in casting his
line to book the Republican presidential
nomination. Mr.. Sherman, when he learns
of it, will feel as though cold, damp
blanket had suddenly enveloped his boom.
The action is directly in revenge for the
public declaratlon of the Senator that the
Union Labor party was side-show. In
the same breath the committee repudiated
Lee Crandall, who is the great American
new-party maker. Mr.. Crandall, however,
will probably not complain. He will
simply begin to organize another new
party. 1t is quite likely that the next is
sue of his paper, the National View,
will contain some salty expressions
of his views about the Union La
Dor party. Another curious thing
the committee did was to declare that the
Union Labor party had no room for Henry
George and his followers. By this action
there have eliminated from the ranks of the
party the $1,000 men who voted for Henry
George in the last municipal election in
New York City, the magnificent vote doing
more to stimulate the organization of the
Union Labor party than anything
else that had ever +, happened
in the political history of the
country. And yet the platform of the
party embodies the leading principle of
the Henry George doctrine. 1t begins to
look like the Union Labor party was lack
ing an intelligent leadership. 1t will not
be long before those members, at least,
who have hitherto voted the Democratic
ticket, will be asking, What in thunder
are we here for?n

WASHINGTON G. DEPAUw has left many
monuments testifying to his usefulness in
his day and generation. The State of In
diana has never had a citizen worthier of
the regard of his fellow-men. The mar
velously successful architect of his own
fortunes, he advanced himself in the pub
lie regard by using his wealth for the pro-
motion of noble causes. His philanthropy
was sincere and intelligent Like Monte
fore, he was strong pillar of the religion
he professed, and like Peabody, he gave
force to great educational enterprises, and,
like them both, he strove to win honor for
himself by doing good. He was devoted to
the Methodist Episcopal Church, being the
most distinguished layman in America.
Though be had in his youth enjoyed no
educational advantages whatever, he gave
amillion dollars to the university at Green
castle which now bears his name. He had
founded other schools before, educated
preachers and built churches. he
was never weary in wen-doing in
these directions And while giving
with bounteous hand to such benevolent
objects, he continued an. active man of af-
fairs. Great industrial and financial en-
terprises were developed and supported by
his energy and sagacity. Such are the
nations greatest men. He sought no
political distinctions, preferring to attain,
by success in commercial life, and by stim-
ulating the potentialities of religion and
education, recognition as a factor for good
in these several spheres. Such man always
die too early. Though sixty-fve years of
age, there had been no abatement in his
energies. His death was wholly unex-
pected. 1t is sad to think that he did
not survive longer to enjoy the devel-
opment of the splendid benevolences he
had established. His death will be
mourned wherever the bells of his beloved
church may ring, and blessing upon
his memory will be breathed by thousands
who have had their station in life bettered
because he lived.

North, Lord Gray. the Duke of Wharton
and Earl Cowper protested in the Lords,
but all argued to no purpose.
The fluctuations of the company's stock
during this contest and for some time after
have no parallel in any 'bull' and "bear''
conflict OF later days. 1t rose when the
bill of transfer passed to $50, April 7, l720,
and fell off 40 the next day. From this
time the whole affair became as purely
speculative an operation as any ''cornsr"
in wheat or oil ever attempted. The stock
was run up by rascally shrewdness to $50
on May % and 800 on June 1. Then a
panic tumbled it to $40 on June 8, and the
directors went in to help it up, and it went
up the same day to $50. By the LIST of
August it went to 1, 900, and then the man.
ayers sold out. In five weeks the stock fell
to 400. the country became excited, the
Bank of England would give no aid, the
cashiers (the Sword-blade Company failed,
and the great South Sea bubble" bursted.
The country demanded the punishment of
the rascally managers. Parliament made
a most damaging investigation, first fer
bidding any of the directors to leave the
country or dispose of their property. 1t
was found that the Earl of Sunderland and
Duchess of Kendall ar1 other mobiles had
been bribed to aid the company in Par
lament with $500 of stock. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr.. Aims
Liable, was mixed up with the villainy.
The noble scoundrels were acquitted, of
course, but the others were expelled from
Parliament if members, the directors were
imprisoned, and the property of all was
confscated. An adjustment of the real
stock and valuable property OF the CON-
pany was made, and thus at the close of
1920 came the end of the great South Sea
Scheme" or Bubble"

After the Indiana Coal Fields.

BRAZIL, May 10.-Considerable interest
has been manifested here, and, in fact,
throughout Southwestern Indiana, over
the rumored sale of the Terre Haute and
Evansville and the Evansville and Indi-
annapolis Roads to the Chicago and Indiana
Coal Road syndicate. The sale has been
denied, but, while not fully consunmated,
it is generally believed to have been made,
at least optionally. The date of the op-
TONS expiration is fixed at tomorrow,
when 1t is thought the matter will be fully
concluded. The price has not been mem
toned, although if the syndicate pays any
thing like the price they paid for the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois recently it will
be high. Though in the field but little
over year, the syndicate has put itself on
record admirably, even if the rumored pur-
chase is not consummated. If it is, they
have the Indiana coal fields absolutely in
their own hands. The result will DE our
block coal will not be permitted to over
crowd the market, but the supply will be
carefully regulated SO as to do the most
good to the fewest number. Furthermore,
a continuous line from Northern Michigan
and Chicago on the north to the Gulf on
the south will be opened by the purchase.
The Ohio will be crossed at the Henderson
Bridge The syndicate, therefore, can pay
a good price for the roads and it is highly
probable that they have bought them.

PETER PINDAR.

Of our school books funny story, In verse,
Of countryman and a razor-seller to the
effect that the seller cheated the country

suppress the publication of the record of
the last days proceedings of the Senate.
Why does Mr.. Griffin, as the agent of the
Republican party, desire to suppress this
particular record2
1t contains the memorial reciting and
justifying the steps taken by the Demo-
Gratis of the Legislature to maintain their
majority and their rights.
1t contains the majority report OF the
Senate committee which conducted the In
sane Hospital Investigation.
1t contains a communication from Sem
ator Sears, Republican, to President Smith,
in which the latter is addressed as "Mr.
President" the communication setting
forth that Mr.. Sears had examined the bill
providing for the Baker heater claim and
had found it correct. The record therefore
shows that on the last day of the session the
presidency of Mr.. Smith received Repub-
lican recognition.
1t also contains a record of the fact that
the Clerk of the House of Representatives,
on the last day of the session, sent to
President Smith communication begin
ming "Mr. President" dated the last day
of the session, and accompanying an en-.
rolled bill signed by Speaker Sayre of the
House. This was recognition of Mr..
Smiths presidency and the Senate organi-
cation by Speaker Sayre.
These are some of the hard, cold
facts the journal Of the proceed
ings of the last days session
of the Senate contains, and it is because
these facts are fatal to the Republican pre-
tentlons, and will be used with crushing
effect by the Democrats in the next cam
paign, that Mr.. Griffin desires to prevent
their publication.
We say to Mr.. Griffin, that the Senate
Journal, before it leaves the hands of the
State Printer, will certainly contain the
record of the last days proceedings, though
it may require a mandamus to compel him
to do his duty.

THE Kentucky Democrats, in their con-
vention yesterday, made it evident that
they were not in favor of President Cleve-
lands civil service policy. This is the sig
nal gun, and Mr.. Cleveland will do well to
heed the note of warning. In the conven-
ton were conspicuous as speakers and del
egates many of the leading Democrats of
the State. Their opinions are not to be
whistled down. The. Democrats of
Indiana, at their last State conven-
ton refused to approve the Presidents
civil service policy. Now come the Ken
lucky Democrats, nearly year later, and
make an emphatic protest. Politicians
who have had favors from the Presidents
hands, or who expect them, are always
quite ready to approve the Presidents
course in this or any other respect, and
take great satisfaction in upbraiding
those who exercise the privilege of sincere
and well-meaning criticism. But the Ken
lucky convention was made up of men who
had no favors to ask and who are Demo-
Gratis from way back. These men do not
like the Presidents adhesion to the doc
trine of the mugwumps, and are not afraid
to say so in open meeting. Their utter
ances are to be respected.

COLONEL w. w. DUDLEY was in the city
of Fort Wayne Saturday, and the CORE
spondent of the Sentinel quotes Dudley as
saying that Colonel Robertson would I'M
doubtedly be the Republican candidate for
Governor. This sort of talk Is simply a
part of the Radical programme. 1t is I'M
derstood among the leaders that Robertson
is to be "talked up as the prospective can
dldate until election time, and then that
ex-senator Ben Harrison will be the nomi-
nee. Robertson will then be forced on as
Lieutenant. Governor. The talk is simply
to keep the little man in a good humor.
The leaders understand that he does not
carry guns of sufficient caliber to pull the
party through Indiana in presidential
year.

that General Phil Sheridan contemplated
q trip through the Shenandoah Valley,
writes to a friend that he hopes he may
make the trip in peace, but advises the in
habitsnts of that section to let him travel
'llke a crow, carrying his rations with
him." General Rosser remembers what
was quoted as coming from General, Sheri-
dan at the time of the famous raid. He
said that the valley should be so thorough
ly devastated that even a crow should not
find enough to eat, but be forced to carry
his rations with him.

SECRETARY OF STATE GRIFFIN has made
an attempt to cast discredit upon John d.
Carter, Assistant Secretary of the Senate
of the last General Assembly, by charging
him with having surreptitiously inserted
the minutes of the last days proceedings
of the Senate in the record of Senate pro-
ceedings fled in the Secretary's Office. Mr..
Carter has declared that the record of the
last days proceedings of the Senate was
filed by him in the State Secretary's Office.
This Secretary Griffin Denies maintaining
that Mr.. Carter did not put them there
until this week. There are three or four
persons who will swear that Mr.. Carter
did file the papers when he said he did, the
day following adjournment. Mr.. Carter on
coming to the city this week made search
for them and found the missing record con-
cealed amid the January proceedings of the
Senate. Mr.. Griffin says Mr.. Carter put it
there himself. AS Mr.. Carter conducted
his examination in the presence of the State
Secretarys employees. and as the record OF
the last proceedings is q bulky volume OF
manuscript, it is absurd to suppose that
he could have done such thing, even
though 30 minded. He could as easily con-
ceal markell basket about his person.

THE Sentiners Lafayette correspondent
relates an incident of election day which
illustrates the modes of Republlcanism
under stress. The fight for the mayoralty
of that city was a very tough one. The
Democrats made a brilliant battle and won.
A prisoner was offered release from the
Jail on election day with the condition
that he would vote the Republican ticket.
He declined and was taken back to the

Republicans here in the days before DEM

A Marrow Escape From Death.

DANvILLE, May 9.-Yesterday the in
habitants of the east end of town were
startled by loud crashing noise, caused by
the caving in of a stable loft containing a
large lot OF corn. At the time there were
four boys and two horses in the stable, but
all escaped with slight bruises, except
Claud Stutsman, the seven-year-old grand
son of Nick Stutsman, who received a ter
rible fracture of the front skull by a fall
ing joist. He was carried home appar-
entity lfeless. Doctors Hoadley, Parker
and Wishard soon trepanned the wound,
inserted silver plate and there is some
hopes of his recovery. His elder brother,
Ed Stuisman, was buried under four feet
of lumber and corn, but was dug out un-
harmed.

banner. The Republicans had held the
mayoralty for twelve years, but the Demo
Gratis have finally overcome the Republican
majority, and a Democrat has been voted

that it shows the Democrats of Shelby
